Hikvision’s New “Storage Saver” H.265+ Encoding Technology
Revolutionizing Surveillance with H.265+
Over the previous decade, surveillance manufacturers have continuously improved video encoding technologies, from MJPEG to H.265. The goal has always been to achieve higher resolution while consuming less bandwidth. While other firms struggle to transition to H.265, Hikvision’s new “Storage Saver” H.265+ encoding technology has set a new industry standard.
Understanding the Differences: H.264, H.265, and H.265+
To appreciate Hikvision’s new “Storage Saver” H.265+ encoding technology, let’s briefly compare it with previous encoding methods:
- H.264: Widely used in the past, this format offers decent compression but requires more bandwidth and storage.
- H.265 (HEVC): Improves compression efficiency, reducing bandwidth usage by nearly 50% while maintaining video quality.
- H.265+: Hikvision’s advanced enhancement of H.265, designed specifically for surveillance applications, further reducing bandwidth and storage needs.
How H.265+ Reduces Bandwidth and Storage
Instead of transmitting redundant data, Hikvision’s new “Storage Saver” H.265+ encoding technology focuses on optimizing video encoding in an intelligent way:
- Steady Backdrop Processing – H.265+ identifies static elements in a scene and reduces their encoding frequency.
- Motion-Based Encoding – When movement occurs, H.265+ references a pre-existing frame and only records data related to the motion, significantly lowering bitrate.
- Enhanced Noise Reduction – The algorithm minimizes unnecessary noise, resulting in clearer footage with fewer data requirements.
Benefits of Hikvision’s H.265+ Technology
1. Lower Bandwidth Consumption
Surveillance systems often require continuous video transmission. Hikvision’s new “Storage Saver” H.265+ encoding technology optimizes bandwidth usage, making it ideal for locations with limited network capacity.
2. Reduced Storage Costs
Since H.265+ significantly lowers bitrate and unnecessary data storage, businesses can reduce the need for high-capacity hard drives, leading to cost savings.
3. Ultra HD Video for Enhanced Security
Hikvision’s H.265+ technology enables Ultra HD video (8MP and 12MP) to be used efficiently without consuming excessive storage or bandwidth.
Conclusion
Hikvision has once again proven its leadership in surveillance technology with Hikvision’s new “Storage Saver” H.265+ encoding technology. By improving upon H.265’s efficiency, this breakthrough allows users to achieve ultra-clear security footage with lower bandwidth and storage requirements. Whether for home or business security, Hikvision’s H.265+ is a game-changer.
